3D printing starts in your head: Designers need to rethink their approach to unlock the huge opportunities offered by this relatively new manufacturing technology. The experts in coolant systems at Grindaix and Bionic Production did exactly that.

Keeping an even temperature on the surface of the mould is a challenge. In their quest to maintain even temperatures, manufacturers have tried many things. 3D printing may offer a solution.

Stratasys will showcase its 3D printing solutions for composite production at JEC World (12 to 14 March 2019). The company will outline the benefits of integrating AM in the production line.

New polymers from Solvay benefit from Digimat-AM Advanced Solver's modelling. The combination of the two is said to stand up to challenging tasks.

Asiamold will be the attention centre for the additive manufacturing industry again. The 13th edition of the fair starts next week (10 March 2019) and takes again place in Guangzhou.

Germany - Small batches and mass production are somewhat incompatible, because the lower the product price, the more important are high production numbers. While additive processes are not ready for mass production yet, they may be able to mitigate these conflicting interests.

Kärcher is a name familiar to many households or garden owners, and its distinctive yellow and black logo is synonymous with cleaning systems around the world. Since 1950 when Alfred Kärcher invented the first high-pressure cleaner in Europe, the Winnenden-headquartered family business has expanded beyond its German roots and today boasts offices in almost 70 countries.

The digital networking of man and machine in the age of artificial intelligence will be the focus of Hannover Messe 2019. Highlights are presented in the six line-up feature of the trade fair.

German manufacturer Robert Seuffer uses Stratasys 3D printed injection moulds to produce parts for functional testing in their final material. This helps to significantly reduce both, tooling costs and lead time.
